a vintage shelf and projects

 Fall is finally here, and I have been enjoying the cool, crisp air and wearing sweaters. 

At an estate sale I found this neat vintage shelf, but wasn't quite sure what it was for. A lady standing next to me told it was a shelf that is meant for a book to be displayed on. 

 I love the detail in the wood, and how small it is. So sweet. 

 I am not sure what kind of book would have been placed on it, but I was thinking maybe a Bible or a book opened. What do you think?

Here it is on the wall and it slants a little. I just need to find the perfect book to go on it! I think it would be neat to find an old Bible, so we'll see. Have you ever seen one? What kind of book would you place on it?

 Well, it is that time! Christmas projects! I am already starting on my Christmas line of vintagey tea towels that will be coming soon!! I also have a holiday boutique coming up in November, so I am busy again getting ready and sewing away.

A pretty vintage table runner that just needs a scalloped border, and will be heading to my shoppe soon! 

I have also been working on ideas for some new goodies. Here is a little peak at some with sweet vintage feed sacks and fabrics. 

 The maple leaf quilt is partially pinned and ready for some hand stitching. Thank you for all your sweet comments and recommendations! ;)

 And, lastly I am on my last color for the patchwork blanket. I have already been snuggling with the other half, while I crochet away in the evenings. These crocheted blankets really keep you warm. I love it! Well, I am off to create away. Are you working on any sweet projects? Hope you are enjoying some beautiful weather!
